Your Questions Answered
Is this gecko eating well?
Yes. All our gargoyle geckos are established on Crested Gecko Diet (CGD) before shipping. This individual is a consistent feeder, which is a key reason it’s a frequently reordered item.
How is the color stripe pattern inherited?
The color stripe trait is polygenic, influenced by multiple genes. Pairing stripe with stripe increases the odds of producing striped offspring, but it is not a simple dominant/recessive trait like some other morphs.
What’s the difference between a gargoyle and crested gecko?
Gargoyle geckos (Rhacodactylus auriculatus) are slightly more robust, have a different head shape with bony protrusions, and can regrow their tails if lost. Crested geckos (Correlophus ciliatus) do not regrow tails.
